The Messengers

THE MESSENGERS
Just watched this movie. Its amazing! It falls under horror/thriller/drama. I was almost falling off my seat watching it. The only let down about the movie is that it has a happy ending.

The Story: The movie starts off with a woman trying to save her kids, a daughter and a son, from "something". In the process that "something" grabs her and kills her by throwing her at a wall. Then the daughter tries to save her younger brother. But then the daugher is dragged into the cellar. The little boy who hides in a closet/shelf is also dragged out and killed. Then the scene changes. There's a new family who are moving into this house from Chicago. Again, its a couple, a daughter and a little boy. The daughter had a drinking problem in Chicago which she had concealed from her parents, which led to an accident leaving the little boy temporarily dumb (loses the ability to speak, they don't explain why or how). They move in and the little boy discovers a ghost first which is crawling on the ceiling and he enjoys its presence. Pointing to it and laughing at it. One day, the daughter, Jess (Kristen Stewart) discovers the ghost when she's left at home to look after her brother. She encounters the ghost and manages to escape. Their newly found "family friend", John (John Corbett) helps her out, but he doesn't tell her parents what he saw. The husband, Roy (Dylan McDermott) goes in search of his daughter, who he thinks has made a run for it, leaving his wife, Denise (Penelope Ann Miller) and Ben (Evan & Theodore Turner). Thats when Denise sees a ghost coming out of the stain in the wall. Then they reveal that John is a psycho killer who killed his family. And now John attacks Denise as well. Jess comes home with her friend Bobby (Dustin Milligan) and they are attackd by John. Roy comes home and tries to save the family. Then the ghosts, who are actually John's family help this family to get rid of John. The movie ends with a happy ending, the harvest works well for Roy and Ben learns to talk.

I might have killed the suspense, lol..
